Description
On March 31, 1922, six members of the Gruber family and their new maid were brutally murdered with a mattock on their isolated Hinterkaifeck farmstead in Bavaria, Germany.
This episode reconstructs the chilling timeline, including evidence that the killer likely hid in the attic for days beforehand and remained on the property for several days afterward, feeding the animals and eating the family’s food.
